The news through a narrative lens: Tom DeLay "twists in the wind"

According to the Washington Post this morning, "DeLay scales back power plays."

DeLay is used to doing what he feels like, not what his aides tell him. Suddenly, the old Texas brio that carried him through years of smaller controversies is on the wane.

The Facts

Republican story

Democratic story

Tom DeLay, the House majority leader, continues to defy political gravity. Three of Tom Delay former aides have been indicted in an investigation of campaign fund-raising practices; a close lobbyist friend is under criminal investigation; the House ethics committee is preparing to reconsider allegations that Mr. DeLay and his staff members violated travel rules.

Republicans in the House have not run from Tom DeLay. Rather than try to protect themselves and engineer a coup, Republican members are throwing a tribute party for him this week. President Bush is also standing firm, even taking him along on Air Force One. Republicans says he has done nothing wrong - that he's the target of unfair attacks from Democrats bent on partisan revenge. He is a noble hero, fighting off the democratic Mob at the Gates.

Democrats present DeLay as a red-cheeked tyrant who started out as a bug exterminator and rose to power in Congress with a force that earned him the nickname "the Hammer."

Democrats are content to let DeLay twist in the wind. The slower the death, the better. Every day he stays in office is a boon for their efforts to demonstrate Rot at the Top.
